POSITIVELY NO LONGER.

In making this announcement we can but
for the generous consideration and liberal pat
ronage we have received, hoping by skillful
work to merit the continuance Of the same.
When we first announced visit to Indianap-
oils, our object was principally to become ac-
quainted, and leave few witnesses of the
success of our NEW, IMPROVED AND AL
MOST PAINLESS METHODS IN TREAT
ING THE EYE, EAR, NOSE and THROAT,
at the same time introducing our mammoth
stock of ARTIFICIAL EYES, and demon
strating our superior preparation for preserv-
ing vision and relieving nervous disturbances
by correcting refraction by peculiar and
properly adjusted lens This visit is of spe-
cial Importance to those wearing spectacles.
We have had a paying practice from the first
day, which has increased until we find that
more time is absolutely necessary to treat all
who are applying for relief If there are any
who are yet skeptical or il doubt in regard to
the truthfulness of our statements, we say
come and see. All we ask is investigation
and comparison. We have now been in Indi-
annapolis long enough to verify our words by
our works in the treatment Of hosts of pa
tents throughout the city and adjacent
country, many of whom are within five to
ten minutes walk of our Office, to whom we
can refer you. Our methods of treatment are
the deductions from eighteen years practice
and the expenditure of thousands Of dollars
in collecting and perfecting appliances to IA
cilitate success in our profession. We make
no apologies for advertising believing the af-
aicted want skill-not "ethics" cures, not
'pathies'-in the least possible time, at the
least expense. Our terms are most reasonable
